How do you listen to music in your car?

Better still, how do you want to listen to music in your car?

Are you an FM radio guy or a CD-listening type? If CDs are your thing, are you a single-disc listener, or do you have the big multidisc changer in the trunk and, if so, do you shuffle?

Maybe you prefer talk radio, whether it be sports, politics or something high-falootin’ like NPR.

Of course, you might have upgraded your car-listening experience by going mp3. It’s a snap to take your iPod or Zune player just about anywhere, including in the car.

What about satellite radio? I have a Sirius subscription and love it. I can take the thing in the car with me or plug it up out by the pool. We’ve had fun listening to old episodes of “The Lone Ranger” and enjoy the deep cuts from The Vault and the new-wave songs found on First Wave.

The positives with satellite are: no commercials, full-length versions of songs and dozens of stations.

It’s not perfect, however. I still feel like some of the libraries are limited, and I never know what special programming, like interviews and concerts, I might be missing. I feel the same way about having too many TV channels. I spend more time searching than watching or listening.

The next big thing could either be a hard-installed hard drive for the car or WiFi. I’m surprised the hard-drive thing hasn’t happened sooner. It just makes sense.

I’m not sure being able to check my e-mail while driving is good, but the experts say it’s coming. Along with it will be streaming audio, meaning you’ll have even more choices.

* “That Other Woman’s Child,” a bluegrass musical written more than 25 years ago by Chattanoogans George S. Clinton and Sherry Landrum, is going to New York City.

The play was asked to be among the “invited musicals” at the New York Music Theatre Festival in September, according to Landrum.

Landrum and her husband. Rex Knowles, who both teach theater at Chattanooga State Technical Community College, will produce and direct the production. The cast of around 20 will include some local actors.

The play is set in rural Kentucky and is about a woman who returns to the area from Los Angeles when her father dies. “She is coming back to claim her rights,” Landrum said.

Originally written in Los Angeles, Clinton and Landrum updated it in 2003, when it was produced at Chattanooga State.

“The thing about the Chattanooga production is it gave us some very nice presentation materials, and I believe that helped with this. Now we have to produce it up there, and it has to be good.”

* Neal Pascal’s return to television happened sooner, rather than later, apparently, as he was doing the weather at WRCB-TV 3 this past weekend.

Pascal had said his return was planned for the fall, but he had hinted that his on-air return could happen at any time.
